How long are we waiting these days between closing a Chase bus card and apping a new one? Closed a CIC today so that I'm down to two business cards, want to app another CIC.

I was so nervous listening to the hold music on and off for so long. I need to use the card on 8/30 but will call to see if the TA can wait until after I get the card to run the payment through... since I probably won't get the card until Monday, 9/1/2025.

Just a reminder…September 1st is Labor Day, no mail delivery.

Trying to get ready to book my flights to Tokyo but every time I think I have it figured out I don't.

Had planned to do PE via AA but then they weren't getting to AA so I was going to do BA or Finnair.

Today for end of calendar I can get PE on AA but it's at 330 days. I can't find anything direct on Finnair at 360 or BA at 355.

I'm good with PE given it's a daytime flight but I don't know if I should chance it or what's happening. I search all 3 logged in.

This was supposed to be the easier redemption over the return.

I had the same problem! Grabbed 2 biz and 1 first with Cathay at 360. They don't seem to get PE, so thought I'd just wait for it to come out at BA. But it never did. So now I'm missing a ticket for DS. Have searches set up. Backup plans are a cash economy ticket or he flies by himself (he'll be 17 by then). Or if I can find 2 biz, cancel DH's first tix and they fly together. I regret not grabbing the economy award when I could.

7 days seem to be good.

Is the Cathay transfer instant?

There was one that I was looking at for the return that wasn't and I can't remember if it's them. I don't want points somewhere I won't use if it doesn't work.

I keep thinking a 9/1 flight to Tokyo will be easier than Aug. I'm surprised the Jul PE are on AA.

I did one recently with just a few days.

Cathay transfer was instant for me. I know ANA isn't.

Maybe it was just the higher points and that they were there on the others. And that I only need PE there. I made an ff there a couple months ago so I'm covered.

Same cathay was instant for me.
